Description

Pine Nuts, also known as Pignoli, have been a delicacy in many cuisines for centuries. Perhaps best known as an ingredient in the world-famous sauce "pesto," pine nuts have been eaten since the Paleolithic period. Pine Nuts are the nut which is produced from several varieties of Pine Trees. The strong flavor of Pine Nuts mellows with cooking and is replaced with a nutty, almost sweet taste.

Suggested Use: Pine Nuts are delicious toasted and sprinkled on salads, pilaf, couscous or pasta. Pine Nuts are a main ingredient in traditional pesto sauce and a primary ingredient in Italian pignolia cookies. They're also a tasty addition to pizza, quick breads and muffins.

Ingredients: Pine nuts. (Contains tree nuts).

Basic Prep: Add Pine Nuts directly to recipe or toast for a nuttier flavor. Do not toast pine nuts when using in cookies or other baked recipes.

This is a great, light dinner for hot days. Best of all, it can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated. If you refrigerate the sauce, be sure to return it to room temperature before serving. This is excellent when served with cooked white beans, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with fresh cracked pepper.

The beef can be served rolled up and fastened with a toothpick, then drizzled with the sauce - or it can be served in overlapping layers which are drizzled with sauce. Try it with a crusty bread, chilled wine and tossed greens. If you have a bit of fresh basil left from the recipe, use it to garnish your platter of sirloin.

A visually pleasing as well as delicious little appetizer. Very simple to make and very easy to eat. Perfect for an elegant luncheon or dinner.

Toast your pine nuts before using them. Uncooked, they're just a bit "gummy" and bland. Toasted, they're crunchier and have a deeper, nuttier flavor. Just place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for ten minutes, or until they're a beautiful light golden brown.

Pignoli (Pine nut cookies) are often thought of as Christmas cookies, but their delicate flavor and crisp texture make them a natural accompaniment to light, summery desserts like fresh fruit, ice cream & sorbet. This recipe varies from the traditional version in several ways, most notably by the use of fennel pollen, instead of ground fennel seed. While fennel pollen has the same distinctive anise-like flavor as fennel seed, it's much lighter, more delicate and less cloying.

These cookies only take 15 - 18 minutes to bake up crisp & golden brown, so they won't heat up the kitchen on warm days - and their intoxicating aroma is guaranteed to drive everyone in the house (if not the entire neighborhood) wild!
